My 4Runner (which I never should've sold) had great aftermarket support. I installed the Toytec 3/2 lift kit and it rode beautifully. Mine was a V8 Limited that did not have XREAS so the switch over was a piece of cake.



I'd like to do the same thing with my GX, but I'm reading that it's a bit more complex. My '07 does not have KDSS. I'll probably shoe in 32" BFG ATs that served me well, again, on the 4R. Spidertrax spacers to fill out the wheel wells on my stock 17s. Going to black out every chrome trim piece along with the wheels.

What are my options to lift just like I did the 4Runner? I want OEM quiet with a slightly firmer ride which is just what I got with the 4Runner/Toytec combo.

Thanks!

He used Iron Man's shocks and springs.

You do know the GX uses air suspension? You would be sacrificing the variable height and ride character features for a fixed lift / suspension system. Perhaps you are aware of this and would be willing to make the trade-off, but I would think it may turn-off some future buyers if you ever decide to sell. The air suspension was a major reason I choose a GX, I wouldn't want to take it out for a fixed lift. Also, I believe you would need to replace control arms, as well, given the amount of lift you want.

The air suspension will allow the rear ride height to be used H or L under 19 mph. If you really wanted to upgrade I would try to retrofit the LX system that actually raises the front, this is my biggest compliant w/ the GX.

I'm learning now that simply lifting this thing with new shocks and coils is going to be a pain in the ****. I figured since it's similar to the 4R it'll mod in the same fashion, but I was wrong in my assumption.

I couldn't care less about the air suspension as I had it on this car that I got rid of earlier this year:



I'll just settle for an all blacked out look with better wheels and AT tires. Not ideal, but it'll do. I'm happy with the drive. It's a bit smoother than the 4R, not as sporty, and do love the reclining rear seats!

you could do a 2 inch spacer lift up front and trick the height of the bags in the back for a very mild lift. It would allow you to stuff 32's under there no problem.

Me no likely spacers but thx for the idea

I'm running OME sport shocks with med coils and stock rear bags just "tricked" to raise up higher
